The 2015 World Snooker Championship set a new record for the most century breaks made at the Crucible, with 86, nevertheless no player has scored 147 maximum break.

Four players were up to the task but couldn’t complete it, the reigning world Champion, Stuart Bingham with two attempts, Ronnie O’Sullivan, Ding Junhui and Ricky Walden with one attempt each.

The Rocket, Ronnie O’Sullivan played against Craig Steadman in the World Championship’s first round match.

The five-time world champion attempted to score a 147 break in the first frame of the first round match, O’Sullivan potted 13 red balls together with 13 black balls but didn’t manage to play the positional shot on the next red, 104 century break.

Once again, the world champion attempted to score a maximum 147 break, this time in the final match against former world champion, Shaun Murphy.
